“The biggest bottle job” – Twitter reacts as Dortmund throw away chance to become Bundesliga Champions

May 27, 2023

After only securing a 2-2 draw with Mainz on Saturday (May 27), Borussia Dortmund lost the chance to win the Bundesliga as Bayern Munich was named champion for the 11th consecutive season.

With a three-point lead going into the last matchday, all Dortmund needed to do was defeat Mainz, which was now in 14th position and had dropped their previous four games.

The match was also played at home at the Signal Iduna Park, where they had scored 15 goals in their previous three matches, so the odds were clearly in their favor

Despite all of this, Dortmund managed just a 2-2 tie, while Bayern managed a late victory over Koln in the other game to win the title for a record-extending 11th straight season.

The first half was disastrous for the Yellow and Blacks as the visitors went up 2-0 inside the first 24 minutes of the game thanks to goals from Andreas Hanche-Olsen and Karim Onisiwo.

Sebastian Haller also saw a penalty saved, adding insult to injury and preventing him from cutting the deficit. That would ultimately cost Dortmund dearly, as they scored twice in the second half but ultimately fell short of the one goal needed to win the Meisterschale.
